Ingredients

  • 4 c baby carrots rinsed
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  •  Put baby carrots in small pot or pan, adding just enough water to cover carrots.
  • Cover with lid and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for 7–8 minutes.
  • While the carrots are cooking, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan, and melt together over low heat.
  • The carrots are cooked when they are tender and easily pierced with a sharp knife.
  • Drain carrots of water, leaving them in the pot or pan. 
  • Pour cinnamon mixture over carrots.
  • Cook and stir over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, just until carrots are thoroughly coated and the glaze thickens slightly.
  • Serve warm.
